!gaming is a community for gaming noobs through gaming aficionados. Unlike !games, we don’t take ourselves quite as serious. Shitposts and memes are welcome.
Our Rules:
1. Keep it civil.
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only.
2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry.
I should not need to explain this one.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month.
Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

My dude, people were buying Stones of Jordan on eBay at silly prices so they could trade for set items over 2 decades ago
Yeah but that was insane and those people sucked ass
True, but that was kind of black market and gauche , not advertised every time you log into the game
Agree it was black market and gauche, but it was always advertised to you indirectly as soon as you signed on to battle.net
Every 3rd message in the public chat was either an eBay SoJ seller or people buying/selling based on SoJs.
Perhaps I'm wrong, but the prevalence of all of that had me believing at the time that anyone with a complete decent 5 piece set had just paid for it.
